(London.CityRegiions.com, February 22, 2013 ) England, U.K -- Many of Melbourne's inner-city venues that like to attract the young professional crowd decided to shun the traditional Valentine crowd by hosting an anti-Valentine event set.
Windsor bar Morris Jones decided upon a floor of the Chapel St. venue for an anti-Valentine dinner, according to owner Hayden Burbank.
"There are a lot of single people who want to get out and don't want to stay home on Valentine's by themselves,'' Burbank said.
He noted that the booked anti-VDay dinners were often women in their mid-20s and 30s with "predominantly all-girl tables'' expected.
"There's one mixed table. It's driven by girls organizing it,'' Burbank said. "It's just a bunch of singles getting together.''
Other restaurants picked up on the trend as only trendy restaurants can. The Touche Hombre, Claremont Tonic, and Louie all are took the same prospective stance, which aimed to take pressure off February 14, according to owner Davis Yu.
Yu said his venues, in the CBD and South Yarra, were taking the "cliche'' out of the loved-up date "We're treating it like any other night,'' Yu said, adding "We want to stay away from the three courses, roses on the table.”
"I don't think the majority of young Melburnians want to spend three hours at a restaurant. We want to take a step back.'
Yu noted that his venues had expected couples in groups for Valentines night, rather than romantic dinners for two. As many had turned away from the basic structure of the 'special day'.
"I think that's the way forward. It's kind of like, share the love,'' said Yu. "There's traditionalists and then there are the people who want to have fun.''
Singles also found ways to trend toward interest on the day in non-traditional ways, as they held private dinners for “lonely hearts clubs” and had singles outings.
